Chapter 764: Yalta Conference, Who Attends?
Today, the president took advantage of the spirit of Dushan's great victory and hegemony to negotiate with Yan'an in a tougher tone, and asked Hurley to inform Zhou: Three suggestions, which cannot be changed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the same day, Hurley met with Zhou Gong and conveyed the opinion of the president.
Zhou Gong: "It seems that the president doesn't want to talk about it anymore." So let's change the subject. With regard to the Yalta Conference, we insisted that our leader Mao go to the Yalta Conference. It's okay when Chiang doesn't participate, but it's non-negotiable for us to participate. Our army and your army cooperate closely. If you still want to use the Chinese battlefield to contain some Japanese troops, you must agree to our request. We can express our sincerity that our troops in the northeast will attack North Korea at the right time. ”
Hurley's eyes lit up immediately: "Is this your official commitment?" ”
ZHOU: "Yes. We know that we will sacrifice a lot of young people in this way. ”
Hurley: "I agree, it's good for Asia, and even for Europe. I can make it clear that I agree with the presence of the leader of your party, but I cannot guarantee that Mr. Chiang will agree. ”
A diplomat should not have said that, but he wants too much to create a good situation on the battlefield in China. Now, too many young Americans are dying in Europe, and the pressure at home is too great.
Zhou: "As long as it is conducive to the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the overall situation of the world's anti-fascist situation, we must promote this matter." In fact, the key to facilitation is in Washington, not Chongqing. ”
Zhou and Hurley finished their conversation and returned to the office.
As soon as he arrived at the office, he immediately drafted two telegrams to Yan'an to report on today's progress. The telegram to the Northeast Bureau asked the Northeast Bureau to provide a plan for the liberation of Korea, and directly asked Xiaolu to prepare for the Yalta Conference.
Historically, by 1944, the Chongqing government suffered a major defeat in the battle against the Japanese army, and the United States was extremely disappointed, and sent a vice president to China to assess the situation in China. Later, he also sent the president's special envoy Hurley to China. An important aspect of the activities was to promote peace talks with Yan'an.
Although Chiang's conversation with the Americans was a secret, Hurley and Wallace apparently accepted Chiang's point of view, that is, the existence of Yan'an's huge military power was an important reason for him to maintain his strength. In addition, from the ********, they believed in communism and were natural allies with the Soviet Union.
These two main reasons made Hurley adopt biased and even deceitful methods in the process of mediating and negotiating peace talks, intending to make Yan'an's military invisible and dismantle Yan'an's military power through peace talks. How can Yan'an accept such negotiations? At a certain point in the negotiation, Mao Gong was also disgusted with him and wanted to drive him away. Hurley's approach and attitude, objectively, pushed Yan'an to the Soviet Union.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the attention and leader of the negotiations in Chongqing was this person. On the one hand, the United States used planes to help Chiang Lao transport troops, and on the other hand, negotiations stalled for time.
Now, Yan'an's strength is very different from history, Yan'an does not move, but in the Northeast, Outer Northeast, Outer Mongolia, and even Hebei and Shandong, they all occupy huge territory. They had a strong industry and a strong army.
Especially the atomic bomb. Yan'an once revealed that they had an atomic bomb.
Although the United States did not believe it, it still spent a lot of time and manpower and material resources to investigate Yan'an's secret industry in the northeast. Sure enough, their agents overcame all odds and discovered secret industrial bases in several areas that were simply inaccessible. Sending planes for reconnaissance was also not very successful, because they had planes, and when air defense measures were taken with planes to defend against aircraft.
Now, with Yan'an's decision to liberate North Korea, the attitude of the United States is even more different.
December 15, 1944. Shenyang. The General Headquarters of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army.
Xiao Lu was in his headquarters, and he was reading the battle report of the battle in Xiangguiliu in South China. The battle report is the official of Chongqing, and there is a lot of Spring and Autumn penmanship, and the battle report highly praises the great achievements of the 29th Army in Dushan County, Guizhou.
That was a great feat a week ago, and now, through the report of the Southwest Bureau, Xiaolu knows that at present, the war in Guangxi is nearing its end. According to the news from Guizhou, the 29th Army immediately went to Hechi, where the two armies confronted each other. Another Japanese army attacking Guizhou also retreated from Danzhai and confronted **** in Yicheng. The Japanese troops from Xijiang and the Japanese troops from Yunnan fought in Nanjing. In conjunction with Operation No. 1, the Japanese army also launched an offensive in Fujian, Zhejiang, and occupied Wenzhou and Fuzhou.
Only a small number of guerrillas were fighting tenaciously in the Japanese-occupied territories in the name of militia groups.
In southern China, the situation is at a low ebb, like a cold winter, dripping into ice.
The situation in the north, northeast and north China is optimistic.
The situation in the Northeast is very stable, from spring to the present, the construction work has been remarkable, a large number of factories have been put into operation, several large reservoirs have been started, and small reservoirs have begun to generate electricity. With the completion and commissioning of several coal-fired power plants, the power supply situation in the city has improved significantly, and there is less time for power rationing at night, and the factories are fully operational.
Warm as spring.
"You're in the southern sun, and the snow is falling. I was in the cold night in the north, warm as spring. "No, did I have this song when I came to the thirties? Oh, it came from the computer later.
At present, the entire Northeast China, North China, Outer Mongolia, Northeast China, and various anti-Japanese governments are preparing for a decisive battle.
A big net seems to be woven in various places, the center of the net is Shenyang, and the thread of the net is in Yan'an's hands. The path is in Shenyang, carefully weaving a net.
The General Headquarters was the original Shenyang Command of the Japanese Army, and the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee also worked here.
Today, Xiaolu has scattered most of the power in his hands, and the administration of Northeast China is divided into several administrative regions of Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Outer Northeast, Outer Mongolia, and Inner Mongolia, each of which reports directly to Yan'an.
The troops in the northeast were divided into three group armies, which were formed on the basis of the three armies of the original Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the three groups also reported directly to Yan'an and obeyed Yan'an's direct command.
However, now, the command of the Northeast needs to go beyond the coordination of several companies, and the matter still has to fall to the head of the road.
Xiao Lu had just sent off the two people from the atomic bomb manufacturing department and was about to eat, when Xue Rui ran in and said, "Chief, there is something I want you to coordinate." ”
Xiao Lu knew that this was a big deal and said, "What is it?" ”
Xue Rui said: "General Yu Xuezhong sent you a telegram. ”
Xiaolu: "What's the matter?" ”
Xue Rui: "He begs you to get them a batch of arms, and he wants to help with military salaries." ”
Xiaolu said: "General Yu is the provincial chairman behind the enemy line in Shandong, and he also serves as the guerrilla commander of the Lunan Theater, and the Shandong troops cooperate happily with him." I understand that we have sent a large number of supplies to the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and the New Fourth Army in Jiangsu, and he knows about it and hopes to get a part of it. ”
Xue Rui: "Do you want to give it or not?" ”
Xiaolu said: "Over the years, Fuxian Company has prepared military salaries for the three companies, and Zhang Shaoshuai has given him a lot of the materials he has gotten. This time, we can't afford not to give, and of course we can't give it in vain. We want him to negotiate with Yan'an, fight with us, and in the next battle, ask his troops to act with us. ”
Xue Rui: "He doesn't have many troops in his hands, so I'm afraid it's not very useful." At present, there is a fierce competition for materials produced in the Northeast, and representatives of various units often quarrel. We didn't coordinate well, and even Yan'an came forward to coordinate. ”
Xiaolu: "Then you have to give it." First, allocate a batch of military salaries to them. I wrote a letter to him, asking him to consult directly with Yan'an for specific military operations, and to discuss with the New Fourth Army for unified action. ”
Xue Rui: "In the previous paragraph, Wang Yizhe was given materials, and the opinions of various troops were very large. They said that we ourselves are planning to attack the DPRK, and that we have mobilized a large number of troops and a huge amount of materials that need to be prepared. Either way, you have to prepare a lot of supplies. The staff said that the number of bullets for guns alone was terrifying. Giving them is far less effective than giving it to the New Fourth Army. ”
The Northeast is actively planning to attack North Korea, not only formulating plans but also preparing supplies. In addition, Tohoku was also planning to attack Japan. This is a huge project, which cannot be taken down by the whole country, and it is very reluctant to let the northeast bear it. Although the industrial base of Northeast China is large-scale, it lacks electricity, heat, and equipment, and cannot give full play to the industrial potential of Northeast China.
Xiaolu: "We must look farther, from the perspective of winning the hearts and minds of the people." The preciousness of the people's will cannot be measured by the value of materials. ”
Historically, after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was far and near, and the Northeast Army was leaderless, and there were different opinions on the next step. Wang Yizhe was assassinated by some young Zhuang factions. Because Xiaolu intercepted Zhang Shaoshuai, the Northeast Army avoided internal strife, and Lao Jiang did not have the opportunity to meddle in the Northeast Army. Wang Yizhe and He Zhuguo both retained their military power and traveled around the country to resist the Japanese.
Now, because Zhang Shaoshuai is still there, there is no infighting in the Northeast Army, and Wang Yizhe has no security problems. However, he drank Lao Jiang very closely, and some young Zhuang factions were dissatisfied with this. expressed dissatisfaction with the material aid given to him by the Northeast, which many generals of the Northeast Army shared.
In this section, Yan'an asked all localities to prepare for the decisive battle in the spring of 1945, and Wang Yizhe and He Zhuguo's troops were given some supplies, and they all accepted Zhang Xueliang's orders and were ready to fight with the Eighth Route Army.
Xiaolu wrote a handwritten letter to Yu Xuezhong and a telegram to Yan'an to explain what happened in Yu Xuezhong. Letter to Yu Xuezhong, Xiao Lu spoke in an extremely modest tone, calling himself a junior. For Xuezhong's request, Xiao Lu basically agreed but asked him to drink Yan'an to maintain a close relationship and work together.
In the evening, Yan'an called back and agreed to the arrangement of Xiaolu, and now, Mr. Zhu has been in contact with Yu Xuezhong.
At this time, a telegram from Chongqing arrived, asking Xiaolu to prepare to attend the Yalta Conference. Only half an hour after receiving this telegram, an urgent telegram came from Yan'an: Lu Xue and the others will come to Yan'an immediately.
After receiving Xiaolu's callback, Yan'an sent a few telegrams and made temporary personnel arrangements for Xiaolu to leave the Northeast. As for what Xiaolu went to Yan'an for, Yan'an's telegram didn't mention a word.
Xiaolu decided to leave Shenyang tomorrow morning and go directly to Yan'an. In addition to Xue Rui and Sun Weishi, only the old wolf was alone. Xue Rui analyzed that Yan'an may have asked Xiaolu to attend the Yalta Conference. The old wolf also thought so, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, handed over his special operations squadron to the deputy captain, and personally came to Yan'an to do security work.
